Answer:

DNA replication.

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of all the living organisms except some viruses. Replication may be defined as the the biological process by which two daughter DNA are produced from the parental DNA strand.

Three important process of replication are initiation, elongation and termination. In initiation process, the DNA is unwind and enzymes are placed at the ori site. During elongation, DNA polymerase synthesizes the DNA strand from 5' to 3' direction. A termination site in the DNA results in the termination of DNA replication.

Thus, the new molecules of DNA in living cells are synthesized by DNA replication.

It begins with the unzipping of the double helix by helicases. Unzipping forms y-shaped replication forks exposing promoter regions (TATA regions) where the initiator proteins and factor bind to the regions of DNA. A primer also attaches to the region. DNA polymerase then binds to the regions and begins adding DNA nucleotides to the 3’ end of the primer based on the nucleotides on the template strand. Topoisomerase continues to unwind the DNA as the polymerase progresses to the end of replication.

How is the cell structure related to its function in your body
Nastasia [14]

<span>A cell with a large surface area or with microvilli (which increase surface area) are specialized for absorption. Many cells have different protein markers on their surface to accept certain specific hormones and allow them into the cell, like muscle cells reacting to adrenaline. Muscle cells are long and able to contract, allowing for overall muscle contraction and body movement. </span>

<span>I guess the hormone part I mentioned applies to chemicals; endocrine cells produce hormones that other cells would not. </span>

<span>For organelles, muscle cells don't have many of the organelles that other cells do because of their very specialized functions. </span>

<span>I hope this helps, it would literally take volumes of text books to answer this question completely.</span>

1. How are Lipids and Fatty Acids similar? How are they different?<br><br> Use evidence
Eduardwww [97]

Explanation:

Similar: Fatty acids are generally long chains of hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one of the ends. While Lipids are polymers of fatty acids with a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a small polar oxygen group.

Different: Fats are actually a type of lipid. Lipids are a major class of biochemical compounds that includes oils as well as fats. Organisms use lipids to store energy and for many other uses. Lipid molecules consist mainly of repeating units called fatty acids.
